## Timeline

Beats are `[minutes-from-start] label`. Add `{hard}` for a hard trigger,
`| cut: …` for a cut hint, and `#id` to pin a stable id (else it is slugged).

- [0] The opening beat {hard} #a1-open
- [35] Parlor interview | cut: summarise the ledger; skip the tea ritual
- [120] The reveal {hard}
- [200] Ambiguous epilogue

## Clues

`{essential}` marks a clue the ending needs; `{act: …}` tags the act;
`| fallback: …` is how to deliver it if missed.

- The door-cam face that cannot exist {essential} {act: Act One} | fallback: the monologue cards
- The identical childhood, recited twice {essential}
- A colour detail {act: Act One}

## Cast

`NAME — one-line note`, optionally `| secret: …`, and `{pc}` for a player character.

- MARY FLETCHER — Innkeeper; saw the watchers | secret: she saw Crowe sew the pendant
- DANNY TATE — Stable boy, 14
